Edit mention to keep the first name only

[jne]

It would be nice to allow for editing the mention name so we can choose to 

• have both first name and last name as of today (@John Doe)
• remove the last name in order to keep the first name only (@John)

This is available on some apps today like MS Teams and work as this :

• start by typing @ and that will trigger an autocomplete with names like today
• when you select a name the text is completed and full name mentioned put in bold
• if you press backspace to delete, first the last name is removed and not the whole name/mention as of today
• to fully delete the mention, press backspace again to remove the remaining first name 

Why ?

• It always feels weird to be mentioned with full first and last name, especially when someone replies in a comment thread.

Some platforms also allow us to delete the first name and leave the last name, either by 1) moving the cursor after the first name before hitting ⌫ Backspace; or 2) by moving the cursor before the first name then hitting ⌦ Delete. Some of us actually refer to some friends by their last name for various reasons, not least of which because we may know 20 Johns or Michaels.
